Isaiah 54
1 Exult, thou barren, that didst not bear; break forth into singing, and shout for joy, thou that didst not travail with child: for more are the children of the desolate than the children of the married wife, saith Jehovah.
Veseli se, nerotkinjo koja ne raðaš, zapjevaj i poklikni ti, koja ne trpiš muka od poroðaja, jer pusta ima više djece negoli ona koja ima muža, veli Gospod.
2 Enlarge the place of thy tent, and let them stretch forth the curtains of thy habitations: spare not, lengthen thy cords, and strengthen thy stakes.
Raširi mjesto šatora svojega, i zavjesi stana tvojega neka se razastru, ne brani, produlji uža svoja, kolje svoje utvrdi.
3 For thou shalt spread abroad on the right hand and on the left; and thy seed shall possess nations, and they shall make desolate cities to be inhabited.
Jer æeš se nadesno i nalijevo rasprostraniti, i sjeme æe tvoje naslijediti narode, i puste æe gradove naseliti.
4 Fear not, for thou shalt not be ashamed; neither be thou confounded, for thou shalt not be put to shame: for thou shalt forget the shame of thy youth, and shalt not remember the reproach of thy widowhood any more.
Ne boj se, jer se neæeš osramotiti, i nemoj se stidjeti, jer neæeš biti prijekorna, nego æeš zaboraviti sramotu mladosti svoje, i prijekora udovišta svojega neæeš se više sjeæati.
5 For thy Maker is thy husband: Jehovah of hosts is his name, and thy Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: the God of the whole earth shall he be called.
Jer ti je muž tvorac tvoj, ime mu je Gospod nad vojskama, i izbavitelj ti je svetac Izrailjev, Bog svoj zemlji zvaæe se.
6 For Jehovah hath called thee as a woman forsaken and grieved in spirit, and as a wife of youth, that hath been refused, saith thy God.
Jer kao ženu ostavljenu i u duhu ožalošæenu dozva te Gospod, i kao mladu ženu puštenu, govori Gospod.
7 For a small moment have I forsaken thee; but with great mercies will I gather thee.
Za malo ostavih te, ali s velikom milošæu pribraæu te.
8 In the outpouring of wrath have I hid my face from thee for a moment; but with everlasting loving-kindness will I have mercy on thee, saith Jehovah, thy Redeemer.
U malom gnjevu sakrih za èas lice svoje od tebe, ali æu te vjeènom milošæu pomilovati, veli izbavitelj tvoj Gospod.
9 For this is [as] the waters of Noah unto me, since I have sworn that the waters of Noah should no more go over the earth: so have I sworn that I will no more be wroth with thee, nor rebuke thee.
Jer mi je to kao potop Nojev: jer kao što se zakleh da potop Nojev neæe više doæi na zemlju, tako se zakleh da se neæu razgnjeviti na te niti æu te karati.
10 For the mountains shall depart, and the hills be removed; but my loving-kindness shall not depart from thee, neither shall my covenant of peace be removed, saith Jehovah, that hath mercy on thee.
Ako æe se i gore pomaknuti i humovi se pokolebati, opet milost moja neæe se odmaknuti od tebe, i zavjet mira mojega neæe se pokolebati, veli Gospod, koji ti je milostiv.
11 [Thou] afflicted, tossed with tempest, not comforted! Behold, I will set thy stones in antimony, and lay thy foundations with sapphires;
Nevoljnice, koju vjetar razmeæe, koja si bez utjehe, evo ja æu namjestiti kamenje tvoje na mramoru porfirnom, i osnovaæu te na safirima.
12 and I will make thy battlements of rubies, and thy gates of carbuncles, and all thy borders of precious stones.
I naèiniæu ti prozore od kristala, i vrata od kamena rubina, i sve meðe tvoje od dragoga kamenja.
13 And all thy children [shall be] taught of Jehovah, and great shall be the peace of thy children.
A sinovi æe tvoji svi biti nauèeni od Gospoda, i obilan mir imaæe sinovi tvoji.
14 In righteousness shalt thou be established: thou shalt be far from oppression, for thou shalt not fear; and from terror, for it shall not come near thee.
Pravdom æeš se utvrditi, daleko æeš biti od nasilja, te se neæeš bojati, i od strahote, jer ti se neæe približiti.
15 Behold, they shall surely gather together, [but] not by me: whosoever gathereth together against thee shall fall because of thee.
Gle, biæe ih koji æe se sabirati na te, ali neæe biti od mene; koji se god saberu na te, pašæe.
16 Behold, it is I who have created the smith that bloweth in the fire of coal, and that bringeth forth an instrument for his work; and I have created the destroyer to ravage.
Gle, ja sam stvorio kovaèa koji raspaljuje ugljevlje i vadi oruðe za svoj posao, ja sam stvorio i krvnika da ubija.
17 No weapon that is prepared against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that riseth against thee in judgment, thou shalt condemn. This is the inheritance of the servants of Jehovah; and their righteousness is of me, saith Jehovah.
Nikako oružje naèinjeno protiv tebe neæe biti sreæno, i svaki jezik koji se podigne na te na sudu sapreæeš. To je našljedstvo sluga Gospodnjih i pravda njihova od mene, veli Gospod.
